nolan out

GL Nolan!

GL and HF

Mind stating how much $$$ you made in your poker career?

thanks for everything nolan, it was inspirational to see you kill the game

successful poker career. Gl in your new venture.

Since I can ask anything, I was zenyangah on stars 400-600nl back in 2009 and 2010. I knew you were you but knew you did not know who I was. Nevertheless, we played a little bit together but not too much, but enough to trade a few stacks. Do you remember the ID and if so, your general impressions of me whether good/bad?

Hopefully this means you'll be focusing a lot more on the MMA threads instead of the Poker threads~

Good Luck Nolan ! Loved your interview.

I can honestly say I have 0 memory of that username.

I played a shitload of volume, and was autopiloting way more than most people would believe.

Not sure if this is an insult or what, but I have 0 interest in MMA and don't believe I've ever posted in an MMA thread

Cya.

Don't worry he posts stuff like this in everyone's blog like an annoying spam bot

noooo-lan

GL man, ventrilo times were fun. Shame I didn't have the time to join you in Amsterdam a few years back. If you're ever in London let me know!

GL nolan~~~

Although with ur smarts you probably won't need it

this is a decision that is hard for a lot of people to make because they have invested so much of their youth into this game. To move on is harder than simply moving on. good luck in life nolan

I will be sad if I can no longer communicate with you to better understand humanity and the world (and ourselves) as a whole.

Which gets me thinking. I miss the days of all the open insight sharing and roundtable discussion on this site. What if we started a forum category titled "Life" or something like that where people posed questions on anything curious, fascinating, w/e? We could potentially make it invite only if anyone is worried about trolls, etc.

Gl in your endeavors.

I know you're leaving behind the game, is there anyway you can do one big blog post with a bunch of useful poker tips for the rest of us who are still trying to reach MSNL? Game theory, goals, how to effectively get better, etc? I know a bunch of us would really appreciate it.

gl dolan.

Good Luck man

Not an insult, I just try and get anyone I can to take part in the MMA threads here.

I'm actually surprised more people at LP don't follow MMA, it's really a great sport to watch when you're not playing poker or working. You get to see people beat each other up in various ways, which is a great stress reliever for those hard days at work or at the poker table.

I have been a lurker for quite sometime but i think this would be a great idea for exchanging ideas about life outside of the poker world

I think I'll pursue a PhD in Political Science or something useless along those lines. I might attempt to get published and get into writing, really too soon to say but frankly it's just the field I think I'd do best at.

Take care buddy, I remember the almost movie-like scene of you walking randomly in front of my car at the gas station. wish we could of done more together. best of luck on your journey

I'm surprised you have kept at it for so long (well, that people keep at it for as long as you did). Hopefully with all the money you made it makes it easier for you to do what you really want to do with your life now. Good luck.

nolan.. btw hit me up sometime after you've quit.. let me know if your happy about quitting

you were are an inspiration to me.
gonna miss you

noooo nolan :<, GL in whatever you chose to do with your life, but more importantly, HF

GL with your studies nolan, I'm grinding through grad school applications right now too ><

What I remember most from your DC videos years ago, was your use of language and vocabulary and immediately shunned my Southern public education system. For being fairly quiet, I liked your posts concerning politics and global issues, and think the world would be lucky for you to participate and shape it.

thank you for teaching me so much over the years, for helpin me understand the game and realities of poker.

you're def part of the reason I win today, a great person and role model, someone to always be looked up to from the poker community, and well, in general.

you'll be missed bud,
GL in your future,
Almost seems like you wanted to quit a few years ago, you seemed very tired

Great fckin run man,
I'd still never want to sit at a table w/ you for the rest of my life.

Those obsing watching you sessions were some of the best tutorials and some mad fun too, I won't forget your help.

Thanks sir,
Ryan

ahh it was funds while it lasted
gl man

was a pleasure playing with you. good luck.

Just curious how you are able to turn down your future hourly earn rate in exchange for significantly less?

Every time I think to myself "it's time for me to move on from poker," i look at my hourly earn and compare it to anything else I could possibly do then decide I'd be nuts to quit.

Regardless, GL with whatever you choose to do. You've definitely been one of the few dudes who's game I've had a ton of respect for right from the start.

You'd probably be surprised how little I truly care about money. Easy to say I guess cause I have a lot at the moment, but I was never a big materialist. Money wasn't my motivator in poker, it was just that I realized pwning noobs at poker would probably provide an easier life than pwning noobs at Counter Strike.

It was also nice that by pwning noobs at poker it actually provided me with more time to improve my ability to pwn noobs at poker since I generated money through it. It would be harder to get to the best of my possible ability at pwning noobs in NHL 12 or Counter Strike because I would still need to have a real job in order to eat food and live in a home etc.

I guess it's sorta cheesy and a lot of people would call BS on it but I really enjoyed the competition more than the results.
